Digital Life at the Extremes

I am very excited to be able to say that the First Digital Lives Research Conference will conclude with a Lecture entitled "Digital Life at the Extremes" by the renowned polar explorer Ben Saunders: 11th February 2009 at the British Library.


 

Ben Saunders is the youngest person to ski solo to the North Pole and holds the record for the longest solo Arctic journey by a Briton. Ben is also well known for his use of digital technologies during his expeditions.
